So what are the remainder of the FI's former 78 Sqn called now?
1564 Flight


And whatever happened to 78's Griffin? (i.e. Griffin Way) - Has Merlin managed to turn a Griffin into a Tiger?
Never has been a Griffin in the crest! I guess someone got their mythical beasts muddled up

From the Heraldic website
A heraldic tiger rampant and double queued - approved by King George VI in November 1939. The theme of the badge was based on the Squadron's aircraft at the time, the Whitley, which had Tiger engines and twin tails.

Btw, is the reformed 78 Sqn an 'aircrew only' club?
Yes, as is 28 Sqn. The 'groundcrew' are part of their own big club now called Merlin Force. Bit like Odiham and Lyneham have done.
